Translation of "Modernization aid " (English → French) :

Communication from the Commission to the European Council (Informal meeting in Lahti – Finland, 20 October 2006) an innovation-friendly, modern Europe

Perhaps local or other citizens would be interested in submitting a petition for the historic lighthouse, the lighthouse that had heritage value and not so much a modern aid to navigation.

That is why our government, on behalf of Canadians, invests in things like fisheries science and management, enforcement and habitat protection, oceans stewardship, renewing the Coast Guard fleet and modernizing aids to navigation.

So as marine aids modernization has not progressed as rapidly as expected, you need to have the new, modern aids system in place before you can make clear decisions as to the type of vessel you're going to need to service those aids.

On a proposal from Mr Marcelino Oreja, the Member of the Commission responsible for energy and transport, the Commission, on the basis of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC of 28 December 1993, today decided in favour of the 1994-1997 plan to modernize, rationalize and restructure the Spanish coal industry and to reduce its activities and authorized the granting of total aid of PTA 128 869 million to the Spanish coal industry for 1994. This aid consists of the following: - aid totalling PTA 105 780 million to cover operating losses by coal undertakings; - aid totalling PTA 14 715 million to cover exceptional social expenditure on behalf of worker ...[+++]s who have lost their jobs following measures to restructure, rationalize, modernize, and reduce the activities of the Spanish coal industry; - aid totalling PTA 8 374 million to cover the technical costs of closing pits as a result of measures to restructure, rationalize, modernize and reduce the activities of the Spanish coal industry.

The restructuring and modernization plan, which would involve the loss of a further 1 500 jobs, provides for a series of measures: - Plant closures . the blast furnace, which has the capacity to produce 1.8 million tonnes of pig iron, but actually produced only 700 000 tonnes in 1992; . the 0.45 million tonne capacity hot strip slitting plant, which produced 0.02 million tonnes of thin strip in 1992; - Capacity reductions and modernization . reduction of crude steel production capacity from 2.1 to 0.9 million tonnes by replacing the old steel converter with a modern electric steel furnace; . reduction of cold rolling capacity from 1.6 ...[+++]7 to 1.22 million tonnes by closing down some rolling mills; - New plant . construction of a modern hot rolling mill with a capacity of 0.9 million tonnes.
